A bolt and two washers to fix negative rear camber????
I have a lowered 97 sedan on 18s. I had an ingalls front camber kit installed to correct the camber in the front but I don't want to spend approx $200 for a ingalls rear camber kit. My friend told me there is a post somewhere that explains how to adjust rear camber with nothing more than a long bolt and two washers. I suppose people would call that "ghetto-rigged", but I think it's pretty damn smart. If anyone can tell me how this can be done, or give me the name of that particular post I'll look it up in the HT knowledge base. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Pretty much everything I've read on the washer trick says one washer for every degree of camber. I'd say try 2 and if thats not enoug just do 3. But I don't remember at what point you need a longer bolt... I believe as long as you dont use over 3 washers you should be fine.

you'll need alot more than 2-3.
I'm running 8 washers on each bolt and yes you do need longer bolts when you're running more washers.
